Overview

The effectiveness of this product is uncertain due to the use of a proprietary blend for the main active ingredients, making it impossible to determine if clinically effective doses are present. While Saw Palmetto, Buchu, and Uva Ursi have traditional uses and some scientific backing for prostate and urinary health, the lack of transparency regarding individual ingredient dosages within the blend significantly limits the ability to assess efficacy.

The Good

Saw Palmetto is a well-researched ingredient for prostate health concerns.

Formulated as an alcohol-free glycerite liquid extract, which may be preferred by some users and can preserve some bioactives.

Strawberry flavor may improve palatability, making it easier to take.

The Bad

Use of a "Proprietary Blend" obscures the exact amounts of the active ingredients, making it impossible to verify effective dosing for Saw Palmetto, Buchu, and Uva Ursi.

Lack of specific human clinical trials for Buchu and Uva Ursi glycerite extracts to confirm efficacy and optimal dosages for prostate and urinary support.

Uva Ursi should only be used short-term (max 7 days) due to potential toxicity concerns of its active metabolite, hydroquinone, which might be problematic for ongoing prostate support.
